Excerpt from The Women of England: Their Social Duties, and Domestic Habits

It is worthy of remark also, that these writers have addressed their observations almost exclu sively to ladies, or occasionally to those who hold a subordinate situation under the influence of ladies while that estimable class of females who might be more specifically denominated women, and who yet enjoy the privilege of liberal educa tion, with exemption from the pecuniary necessi ties of labour, are almost wholly overlooked.
